Preface

The 2 nd International Conference on Sustainable Animal Resource and Environment 2024 (ICARE-2024) was organized by the Faculty of Animal Science, Bogor Agricultural University, in collaboration with the Animal Scientists Society Indonesia (HILPI), with the theme of “Fostering Resilience: Animal Environmental Research and Technology for Sustainable Production“ . This two-day event was aimed to provide scientific platforms for animal science stakeholders (scientists, students, community, government agencies, and industries) to share knowledge and experiences on vast progress in this field. The conference topics addressed the most recent developments in Animal Sciences by combining plenary and parallel sessions to present the scientific interaction, namely: 1. Sustainable animal genetic resources 2. Smart animal production systems and management 3. Eco-friendly animal feed resources and nutrition 4. Frontier animal product technology 5. Animal welfare, health, and environment ICARE-2024 continued the legacy of our previous international events, particularly the International Seminar on Animal Industry (ISAI), held in 2009, 2012, 2015, and 2018, as well as the inaugural ICARE in 2021. These series of events were run successfully and widely accepted by stakeholders. Hundreds of participants gathered in Bogor to share fruitful knowledge and experiences during the event. As such, scientific platforms for discussing this issue are needed. ICARE-2024 existed to be one of these platforms. ICARE-2024 was held physically in the IPB International Convention Center. ICARE-2024 will feature two keynote speakers from the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health under the Ministry of Agriculture, Republic of Indonesia, and the University of California, Davis, USA, along with six prominent invited speakers. In addition to these speakers, 70 research papers were presented by participants throughout the two-day seminar. The participants represented many countries, including the Netherlands, Australia, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Indonesia.
